Red Star is closed

One less spot for food and drinks before and after Jackets games. Not that I ever went there often (my pre- and post- game plans tend to revolve around the R Bar, Chipotle, or Gibby’s if I’m feeling particularly ambitious), but the Red Star Tavern across from Nationwide Arena is now closed. That tends to happen when you don’t pay your rent for six months. From the article it sounds like a new place is already lined up for the spot, and will be there by the drop of the puck next season.

ETA: After reading the article in this morning’s Dispatch, I see that the new place is actually going to be open next week; they’re just not going to have a “concept” until around the time the Jackets are playing golf.
